□ Determined. Has a lot of crazy ideas flapping around in his head, which gets him into a lot of hot water but he's not gonna stop. The dark lord shall rise again before he stops. □ Intelligent. He has a great memory, but only bothers to retain information that interest him. Names, for instance, are a bore. Will assign random names to people if he forgets. "Stranger, thy name is Billy." □ Passionate. You'd assume he has no interest in life what-so-ever and is destined to lead the life of a recluse NEET but this guy loves music, magical creatures, and explosives. Also has a thing for taking down the Ministry of Magic. □ Calm. He will calmly bleed to death.Claude can keep a cool head most of the time. Very quiet and polite in tone, but the attitude is just blargh. □ Patient. Feels that he has nothing better to do anyways so he has no problem with waiting. Takes his slow ass time with everything. Sometimes people can't really hear him speak, but he'll patiently repeat his words like a broken record until they do.

■ Apathetic. Claude's default personality. Rolls along with anything. Everyone is more or less just a character in a Shakespeare play. You're either a troll victim or an obstacle ( pick one ). ■ Stubborn. Hates having to admit he's wrong and will simply try to weasel his way out of admitting it. A bit pretentious, often acting as if he is on the higher moral ground. ■ Underhanded. Has no qualms about lying. Or cheating. Or pitting people's greatest weakness against them. ■ Deceptive. Loopholes a lot. Takes the round-about way when telling people trivial information. ■ Passive-aggressive. Snide remarks. Sarcasm. Euphemisms. Trolls people. A lot. ( ≖ _≖) "Did you try turning it on and off?" "It's a broomstick, Claude." "It's voice activated then. Try Siri." ■ Proud. With an ego bigger than Kim Kardashian's booty. But he's proud about all the wrong things, so normal insults just kinda boink off his thick skull. A bit domineering and prefers to be the one in charge.

History.. Claude was raised in Spain—Muggle style. His mother was an oriental wandcrafter as well as a herbalist. Despite being the greatest underachiever to ever exist on the planet, she expected GREAT things from Claude and often has to hit him with chanclas because he is disappoint. Since herbs and potions are a Shun specialty, Wei-Lai constantly trained him in the art of advanced potion brewing. All this Spartan-esque training has made Claude some kind of avant-garde potions prodigy (meaning he's good @ it, but prefers to blow stuff up). To the relief of Claude, she has severe wanderlust and never stays home for more than an hour.

. His Muggle father—on the other hand—was a chill kind of dad who taught Claude a lot of book things then let him do his own thing. As a librarian, Claude's father usually read, checked out, or shelved books. Since Claude was a bookworm himself, he would often help his father in the library by carrying books around and reading in his down time. Never underestimate the weight of books—their weight gave Claude super strong arms. Claude was very fond of his father, even though they rarely spoke to one another: Halcyon days where the two communicated through subtle smiles and brief glances. Halcyon days over when Mom came home and the house turned into a boot camp. And so his tween years were filled with on and off peace and hardcore potion training.

. Prior to Hogwarts, Claude attended a Muggle school. He was a generally antisocial person and avoided conversation when he could, obtaining most of his social skills from books and Tumblr. For a while, he served as his school's punch bag—a past experience that has made him nice and firm like a 110-pound cold turkey. After 11 years of mundane life, Claude finally received a letter from Hogwarts and waved ta-ta to his Muggle life. His mother, squealing with happiness, crafted him a wand as a parting gift and responsibly dropped him off at the Hogwarts express before running off for some mahjong. "Son. Just know that me and Cayo are proud of you. Oh look at the time- 麻将时间道了！"
